This registration number was issued to a CR-2 serial 3002. Curtiss is issued a series of registration numbers, and they can issue them to a variety of models as they come down their individual production line. This CR-2 was equipped with a 100 horsepower Kinner.

Registration was cancelled 09/01/1939 while registered to Louise A. Chamberlain in East Orange, New Jersey.

The photograph and the following information was received from Alex Davidson:

“I got into historical research on the beginning of the (Curtiss) Essex airport Caldwell NJ (KCDW). In the process I have collected some of the Curtiss-Wright Review Magazines.”

“The attached is a photo of one in front of the first hangar at Caldwell. It is either a 31 or 32 photo. The Curtiss- Wright Flying Service closed up in the fall of 32 and the sign, on the hangar, was removed. It was then called Caldwell Wright Airport.”
